1001: Whale Birth, Chess Cheating, & Seagull Prevention
About this episode
The episode discusses various topics including whale birth, chess cheating scandals, and methods to prevent seagulls from stealing food.
We are loving season two of Jury Duty, Company Retreat, and we talk about how the show does an amazing job at casting their unsuspecting foils. Susie has an update on the anal bead scandal that rocked the chess world, and why it turns out the rumor has an unlikely origin. We celebrate the incredible Artemis II crew, and their incredible mission to space (and also how hot they all are). We discuss the Moriah Wilson documentary about the murder of the gravel cyclist by a jealous woman, and how we never get sick of analyzing the unhinged behavior of sociopaths. Scientists were able to watch a sperm whale birth, and made some shocking revelations about how it happens, why it's similar to humans, and why it was a mystery until now. We find out about a surprising trick to keeping seagulls away from your food that scholars recently discovered. 00:00 - Kicking Off the Episode with Golden Girls Dreams 04:39 - Unpacking the Genius Casting of Jury Duty's Company Retreat 20:50 - Balancing Hormones with Veracity Cortisol Calming Supplement & Celebrating the Hot and Humble Artemis Il Crew 27:50 - Analyzing Sociopathic Behavior in the Moriah Wilson Murder 34:23 - Shocking Revelations from…
